If the answer is yes, then you've probably thought about Kenya, Tanzania or maybe South Africa.

Join Susan Drew, owner of Sangha Tours, who'll be leading a trip there this summer.

After arriving in Johannesburg with another short flight, the luxury tour starts in Botswana's glorious Okavango Delta – Africa's new “it” place.

It's a vast wetlands, brimming with an abundance of animals and birds.

Safaris are done with range-rovers, boats and mokoros – dug out canoes for two, with a guide “punting” you through gentle grasses and waterlilies. It's simply dreamy!

Landscapes in the delta are gorgeous and the sunsets sublime.

After two nights at a luxury tented camp there, you will take another bush flight to Chobe National Park, along Chobe River.

The park is known for its abundance of elephants. Imagine seeing a family swimming across the river to the Namibian side, with a baby submerged and only holding onto its mother's tail for guidance.

Besides the many giraffes, zebras, buffaloes, cats and more in the park, the amount of birdlife is phenomenal.

After a river cruise, you'll head across the border into Zimbabwe to see magnificent Victoria Falls. The sight will take your breath away.

You'll have time for various optional activities, such as village visits, elephant-backed safaris, Zambezi River canoeing, birding, and more.

Next it's on to Hwange National Park, once home to now-deceased Cecil the Lion. Count on a two-night stay at another luxury tented bush camp, enjoying safaris by day and elephants who come to drink from the swimming pool by night. Animals are always in charge in Africa!

Some travelers will fly to Kenya to meet the rest of the group arriving for the main Great Migration tour, followed by optional trips to Tanzania and Uganda for gorilla tracking.

Just a couple of rooms remaining for these tours.
